Booze is booze. I can put a paper bag over his head and empty his wallet later.
Cherchez l'homme!

Geordies, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (North-East England). Nothing to do with Liverpool. Accents, watch Auf Wiedersehen Pet(especially the first series; Jimmy Nail/Leonard, Kevin Whatley/Neville are both strong Geordies until they tamed their accents for telly.)
Liverpudlians are "Scousers"; the Beetles are a good example of a Scouse accent, although some of the strongest accents just can't be understood. Bit like Glasgow. Back to Auf Wiedersehen Pet,Christopher Fairbank/Albert is a Scouser too.
Birmingham, aka "Brum", has too many different accents. Dudley has a particularly distinct one (which fits Mora's description very well), Wolverhampton is also strong whilst Birminham itself is pale by significance. But they are all withing 10 miles / 16 Kms of each other. Going back to Auf Wiedersehen Pet Timothy Spall/Barry is from Wolverhampton (but don't get confused in other programs as he is good at changing accents.)
Cockney is a very specific London Accent. A good program to watch for differing accents in London is Rising Damp but George Cole played a good cockney in Minder.
Most of those examples are old - Ireland is easier to find modern examples as they are less afraid of hiding their accents. Watch Waking Ned Devine for a good mix.
Then you've got Welsh (the southererns nicknamed Taffs), Yorkshire (Tykes), Somerset....
But I'll leave you lot to decide what's sexy and what's not.

So how's your Scottish accent coming along?
And have you ever actually visited Glasgow?

The "West Country" is really the "South West", that little sticky-outy bit of England that it takes hours and hours to drive down, but when you get there you get great pasties! (And cream - adds wifey.)
Cornwall (where Lands End is) has a typical "fisherman" style accent, this progresses up through Devon but in Somerset - well, it's hard to describe as it's a just a plain old Scrumpy drinking, hay-chewing "Git orf mah lahnd" style accent.
The West country then trangresses into the Cotwolds, Bath (pronounced Baarth) and a general kind of up-market farmer accent.
All I can say is it's going to be a great shame when these accents are lost.

Good point re: Irish accents. It's not like there's just one.... I'm far from an expert, and I can distinguish a bit between Dublin/Southwest/Ulster accents. And the Ulster accent, good God allmighty...I literally could not understand more than half of what anyone in Derry was saying when we were there last year.

On second thoughts, I'd decribe him as "Big Nosed" or "Scary".
(Do just showed me a picture to help jog my memory.)
